its a stock config. Nothing to special as far as i can tell, the 5- speed is more uncommon, but not terribly rare.

Re: IS THIS A RARE COMBO
87 was the last year you could get a carb motor. It the 8th digit of the vin is 8 or F then yes it should be a TPI motor. I dont think its rare there are lots of them. What color is it ? Post some pics if you can.
